Apparently it’s because CarPlay is currently limited to Audio for 3rd party apps only. The MyQ device does not fit into that category.

I think to it’s a huge request using HomeKit on the phone requires iPhone to be unlocked but Apple Watch can do it just fine. I just bring my wrist up and say “Hey Siri open my garage door “ it’s a tad slow so I have to do it a little over a block away for it to process the command and have the door opened by the time I get get there.

I just have to watch my voice volume if my iPhone connected to CarPlay picks it up then I have to “break the law” and use Touch ID to unlock my phone before hand

Lauren could I get an update with info on the eta for the homekit bridge? I filled out the form on time and probably got the email but not sure what the email was called

what was the automated email's subject or sender address? something i can search by? I have checked all my email from chamberlain, myq etc and nothing is showing the form i filled. I do remember it telling me 6-8 weeks. that was 4 weeks ago as per the time stamp.

I am finding this thread a year later and still there is no lift master MyQ for Apple CarPlay. CarPlay has for a while now included apps other than audio, such as Waze, Google Maps, etc. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE?

Apple hasn’t opened up HomeKit or stuff like doors (garage or otherwise) to a CarPlay due to security risks. for example if you allow CarPlay while locked any car with CarPlay can access CarPlay apps so if your phone was stolen and they had your address they could get at least into your garage without unlocking your phone

There is work around a though.

I have a spare smart plug not in use, I set an automation that when it turns on open the garage door then assigned the smart plug to a scene I say Hey Siri I’m home. It turns that switch on the automation says when that is on open the myQ door (need HomeKit bridge)

It auto closes in 2mins and I set a geofence to active the scene as well so it does it automatically when I get near my home now
